i have a lot of favorites, but of all the books i read this year i'd have to say i liked the sky is everywhere by jandy nelson the most. everything was perfect for me, and i liked how the character of lennie started out lonely and confused, and eventually found happiness. the novel really stuck to me, and it was an all-around outstanding read :)

Ummm... I might be a bit biased here seeing as this was the book that introduced me to YA lit but, you can't take away its brilliant-ness *is that even a word?* I'd have to say one of my fave books is Beautiful Creatures =)

I just put a whole page together for recommendations - several books that come to mind are - The Light of Asteria, Seers of Light, Fallen, The Pace - there's so many! But...if I had to pick my all time fav. thats changed me as a person I would say The Light of Asteria! :)

Very cool giveaway! I recently saw the trailer and after reading the review it's gone straight to the top of my wish list.I would have to say that It's a tie between the Book Thief and 13 Reasons Why. Both made a lasting impression on my heart.tmdahle@centurytel.net

I would have to say that the books that I can most relate to would be the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. I feel very close to Max and have the same beliefs that she has as far as wanting to save the world.

I don't know if they fit me perfectly as a reader, but I've noticed I have quite a few novels by Joyce Carol Oates. I liked them all. The last book I enjoyed the most lately was The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters.

I love Sarah Dessen books. I have read every book by her and loved them all. My all-time favorite read was Going too Far by Jennifer Echols. I pretty much think that she could write on a tissue and it would be amazing :)

I have SO MANY favorite books, but the ones I keep returning to make me feel such deep feelings, like Jane Eyre and The Thornbirds, and inspire me to want more, to have adventure, and to LIVE, like anything written by Tamora Pierce.

Thanks so much for the contest, I've been dying to read this book. If I had to pick a favorite book it would have to be one that I just finished and adored, The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg, fantastic!
